And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.
-- Gen. 2:14 (KJV)
The final two rivers that flowed out of the Garden of Eden were called the Hiddekel and the Euphrates in this verse. If you are a history buff, then you would know that the Hiddekel River is now known as the Tigris River. The Euphrates River still has the same name it possessed thousands of years ago. Both rivers flow through modern-day Iraq.
If you have been following this series, then you will see that I have displayed that all four rivers listed in Gen. 2:11-14 are actual rivers. Therefore, the Garden of Eden must have existed because if there was no garden, then those four rivers would have never been upon this earth. When you study the Bible using logic instead of with skepticism, then you will be able to extract truth.
Numerical Analysis: The numerical pattern for this verse is 2,5,7,1,4. (2) The name Hiddekel means "sharp voice or sound." To be delivered, speak with sharpness and speak with clarity. (5) To stay in God's presence, remain aware of which way that you are going. (7) The name Euphrates means "fruitfulness." Be perfected by God in order to be productive. (1) Stay in the anointing in order to be productive. (4) Stay in God's Word in order to be productive.
